At no point during the proceedings were we given a chance to explain ourselves. As soon as our attorney started reading a letter of support from Good Samaritan Hospital, 250 people in the courtroom began booing. It was something you would see on a TV show. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It didn't feel like America. It just didn't. |

We don't want to have to tiptoe around. By law, the village has to give us zoning. As a religious institution, we're entitled to it. I don't see how we can lose. |
We want it to be beautiful. |
